User reviews & Ratings

There once was a man, an average Joe like you and I, and this man had a dream. It wasn't the most ingenious of dreams, but it was an interesting one. "What if Supernatural were a movie?" he wondered. "And what if it were directed by Michael Bay?" Well, Flying Wild Hogs apparently heard the man. Lo and behold, Evil West. What I Liked - Evil West never takes itself seriously. It knows what it is, a feel-good game, and runs away with it. It never sets up a complex plot, never sets ups moral grays or nuance. It fully intends to be a game you just get into and have fun with, and it does that quite well. Genre accurate asshole politician? Check. Genre accurate supportive, older brother guy? Check. Genre accurate over-expecting father that cares more about killing monsters than his kid? Check. Genre accurate dead mother? Double check. Some might find the lack of such complexity a downside. I feel that if you decrease the complexity somewhere, you can use it to highlight other parts of your medium. While I agree that Evil West doesn't do that exceptionally, it does it well enough. Complex games have their place, and so do simpler ones like this. Especially when they are fun. - The game trades complexity for reliability. There isn't a combo list that you have to memorize, there are just a few moves and they all come together tightly. It makes it easy to learn the game and easier to express what you want your guy to do on screen. - The game is linear, in a stage based setting. - The game has a parry. I am a proponent of having parries in my action game, and any game that does it well gets my approval, simple as. The parry in this game is a deeply ingrained feature. You can do without it for sure, but the game never gives you a reason not to. Keeping in line with the design, its not a super hard to do thing and pretty reliable in most situations. It plays very well with other mechanics, and as such the game always encourages you to use it. There are things you cannot parry, and the value of repositioning that dodges/rolls provide is not lost. - The game is short. Simple games, in most circumstances, benefit from being short. Ending before the simplicity transforms into drudgery is a wise decision, and I appreciate that the developers went down this route. What I Was Neutral About - The different weapons in this game are reliable over being complex, but some are just too reliable. Many cool weapons that you get later down the line become stuff you just use when the other stuff is on cool-down, or to execute a rush down of a critical target at higher difficulties. I found myself never using different variants or more niche weapons more than once or twice a stage. Maybe its a me-thing, but I was never nudged by the game into using them even at the highest difficulty. - The difficulty scaling just makes things a test of attrition and makes some challenging enemies downright annoying. There is a flying enemy that buffs enemies, has invulnerability unless you do specific things, and becomes highly evasive and possesses ranged attacks once you start getting close to damaging it. I believe this enemy isn't that annoying at lower difficulties, but I have developed a residual hatred for it after completing the game. What I Disliked - There are some visual bugs. Sometimes the camera just becomes so free that it gets stuck on other sides of a wall and that can be frustrating when you are in a mini-boss battle. - Despite finishing the game at Evil difficulty, I did not get an achievement for it >:( Arbitrary Rating for Nerds Mechanics: 7/10 Gameplay: 7/10 Art: 7/10 Music: 6/10 Story: 6.5/10 Technical: 7/10 Overall: 7/10 Ideal Price: $15 or lower

honestly, this is just a nice short schock fest of a game, that is simple, fun, and easy to get into and beat. no over arching huge story, its a tad silly and B movie esk, and thats perfectly alright. its a fun time if you like action games like god of war. a good recommend for me as a busy adult who doesnt have to many hours to play games anymore

Is this game the best thing I've ever played? No. Is it something new and innovative? Nope. But if you can find it on sale like I did and miss the glory days of the Xbox 360/PS3 where games were just games, this one might be for you. It doesn't really do anything great. The story is average, the "puzzles" are more just breaks from the fights. The fights all take place in wave formats inside predefined arenas with no options on how you approach them other than jump in and fight. The game does have a dizzying amount of weapons, perks, skills, and upgrades so you can focus on the ones you like best. There's no one weapon to just run the game with, rather there are a few main options and more powerful "cooldown" weapons. Evil West is a fun vampire beat 'em up set in the wild west, it does basically nothing you haven't seen before, and the things it does I wouldn't even say it does to an excellent degree. There were a few times I encountered a bug when opening a treasure chest and got stuck or enemies got knocked from the arena and the game needed to be reloaded to fix it. This is a game that should've been made in 2008 but was made in 2022. The kind of thing you'd see at Gamestop and think the cover looks cool so you buy it. There's no live service, there's no micro transactions, there's no pushing of any real world political or social themes. It's just a game, but perhaps that's exactly what makes it appealing.

Yes recommended for you young guys but as an old fart it's impossible. Starts off great but got sick of dying and reloading 50 times for every fight pit later on in the game. It's like running round in the rain to avoid the drops. It's a really stylish and well put together game but I'm going back to games that appreciate wisdom over reflex. I'm not going to finish it but I'll probably watch a playthough on Youtube.

From the same developer that made the Shadow Warrior reboot games. Evil West is a third-person action/adventure beat-em-up. Now mixing the western genre with the paranormal is one of my favorite combinations ever. The game scratches that itch but not completely. If you're expecting a huge amount of different monsters/cryptids sadly this is not the game. The main monster/villain of the game is vampires. You have regular human vampires, actual giant vampire bats, hybrid enemies and then your regular human enemies. What I find odd is why the developer didn't implement a combo/ranking system. Something accustomed to a game like Devil May Cry. For this reason there is zero consequences for playing poorly (besides dying obivously). The game also gets really repetitive because of this. The skill ceiling isn't too high so anyone can pick it up. Once you get the best overpowered upgrades the game does become a bit of a breeze. Even being able to play the hardest difficulty on NG+ makes it a cakewalk. While there are other weapons the gauntlet is your main bread and butter. The weapons/tools you get throughout the game just spice things up a bit or can save you in a dire situation. The developer took the glory kill idea from Doom '16 as a way to gather health/energy. There is a heal button but it has a cooldown. The guns have infinite ammo but do weak to moderate damage depending on the enemy type. They are best used to shoot enemies in their weakpoints when they flash on screen. The story is nothing amazing and all the characters are pretty one note. I do like the whole idea of a guild of monster slayers operating in the 1800's. And it really opens potential for a sequel(s). If the dev was to consider the idea I would love to see wendigos/skinwalkers as the main monsters. They are extremely under utilized. They would fit the western setting pretty well. I played the game solo, twice, so I can't really comment on how the game is in co-op. But the game solely feels like a single player experience. I think the dev just added co-op because "everything is better with friends" adage. Good news for achievement hunters is the game's 100% is pretty easy. There is also no achievements involving mutiplayer/co-op so you're safe from having to drag a friend to help. The game can also be beaten in one sitting. All in all, I'd like to see a sequel but add in that combo/ranking system.
